Supply Chain Planning: Practical Frameworks for Superior Performance is a six-chapter book written by Matthew J. Liberatore, the John F. Connelly Chair in Management and Director of the Center for Business Analytics at the Villanova School of Business, Villanova University, and Tan Miller, the Director of the Global Supply Chain Management program in the College of Business Administration at Rider University. The book was published in October of 2012 by Business Expert Press. Intended for supply chain managers and executives as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students, the book presents frameworks and techniques used by the authors to support supply chain operations management and planning. These frameworks describe supply chain strategic planning and project selection techniques, integrated manufacturing-distribution planning and scheduling approaches, performance measurement and balanced scorecard methodologies, customer logistics and inventory development decision support systems, and other well-tested management frameworks. Building upon the integrated framework introduced in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 outlines the supply chain strategic planning process. The authors begin by discussing fundamental components of supply chain strategy, then explain the three phases of planning covered by this framework using a detailed case example. The authors focus at length upon a framework they call the (MOS) approach, a well-known planning scheme that helps users to develop the mission, objectives, and strategies of a firm's supply chain functions.

In Chapter 3, the authors further define and explain hierarchical supply chain function-planning frameworks. The rationale for employing hierarchical frameworks is presented, followed by the introduction of a generic framework for hierarchical supply chain planning. A case study discussing one firm's implementation of a hierarchical production and distribution-planning framework is used to explain how individual supply chain functions, such as manufacturing and distribution, can coordinate their planning activities. The authors also highlight the benefits for overall supply chain operations that result when each supply chain function maintains its own hierarchical planning framework.

Chapter 4 builds upon decision support systems (DSS), a broad category of data and analytical tools, ranging from mathematical optimization algorithms to large-scale information technology data warehouses, which facilitate supply chain operations. The chapter begins by introducing the basics of DSS, then, explains their value to an organization and considers strategies for building comprehensive DSS to serve operational requirements. The authors flesh out their presentation by offering several short case studies that illustrate the importance and power of DSS when properly implemented.

These frameworks describe supply chain strategic planning and project selection techniques, integrated manufacturing-distribution planning and scheduling approaches, performance measurement and balanced scorecard methodologies, customer logistics and inventory development decision support systems, and other well-tested management frameworks. In Chapter 5, the authors examine several frameworks for supply chain performance measurement that enable a firm to synchronize its plans and decisions with key performance indicators to monitor the impact of the actions taken. The authors present a general framework for supply chain performance metrics and then introduce the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model. Next, the authors discuss a process for linking the selection of a firm's broader performance measures directly to its supply chain strategy. The chapter concludes with the examination of an innovative methodology by which executives can create a customized management index to monitor their supply chain's performance.
